Why do you like the Tolkien fandom? - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

My God daughter is very involved in Terry Pratchett fandom and both she and her brother both loved Harry Potter and were more involved in it, perhaps because they grew up with it. I have read both and have a lot of time for both authors perhaps because although their worlds are not as wondrous to me as Arda, they both have a palpable love of language and lore even if they have not created languages like Tolkien did.. and a measure of my love of Tolkien is linguistic.
